![]() Because Spike also reveals search results of archived emails, I archive about a third of my emails so emails don't clutter my Inbox. Spike also has a fast search feature, so I have less of a need for saving and tagging emails to different folders. I can snooze emails and show them back up when I need them. The snooze feature allows me to use Spike as part of my task management processes. The ability to snooze emails is another feature not found in many email clients. The Unread pane gives a clean Inbox when I'm done processing the emails, but I also click and see my read previously read emails. Viewing my emails in the Recent pane means that I'm not distracted by the clutter of previously read and viewed emails. You can use Spike to divide your priority for your non-priority emails, but I use the Unread and Read emails setup. I’ve used five different mail clients, including Apple Mail, and none of them has made managing emails easier than Spike. With Spike, I spend less time processing emails than with any other email client I’ve used. I also found that to use MY branding I am expected to pay them $144.Ĭomments: Great experience. I did eventually find in their pricing table that Free accounts don't get "custom signatures". This was not clearly stated anywhere - I discovered it when I wrote myself a test. It was an utter mess.īut the reason I give this such a bad review is that what they did not tell me was that they remove my branding - my signatures and replace them with their advert. It got worse when I wanted to write a new email to a person who wrote me at more than one account. The organization got very confusing when one person wrote to more than one of my accounts. I tried with my personal one, my company one and one I use from a client of mine. The problems start with multiple accounts. Their business approach is misleading - they actually alter the contents of your emails without clearly stating they will do so.Įmail organization is ok for a single email address *IF* you don't care about your in-email branding or your own signature. ics files/invitations, and sometimes Spike won't recognise the email/name I'm typing in to give me reasonable proposals.īut these are minor details in the great scheme of things, and given the age of the app, there are truly very few bugs or glitches!Ĭomments: Terrible. Some things that aren't working perfectly are the calendar integration. There are still a few growing pains, and some features are not fully implemented yet. Not a given in today's fast moving automated world. + The incredibly fast customer service - The CS team is really fast (and personable, and friendly and helpful) when I have an issue. + The semi-automatic email account setup - Spike recognised (in most cases) what kind of email account I had (Gmail, or Exchange, or IMAP) and pre-filled parts of the server data (or eliminated me having to enter it at all) which made setting up accounts a breeze. ![]() And Spike embraces this trend without losing the formality (it's just hidden) + The modern approach - as much as business is still formal, and we value salutations and signatures, they distract from the message we are sending, and email is being supplanted by chats/blogs/. + The ease of use - everything is in one place, and it's easy to concentrate on the information in the messages, rather than filtering through quoted text or long emails that duplicate something already on my computer. I've learned a lot / feel comfortable using Spike in a short time) and I'm really enjoying using the App! The learning curve has been very shallow (i.e. like a chat thread) approach enlightening and very efficient. Comments: It's a bit of a change of approach, coming from more classical email services, but I'm finding myself drawn more and more to this app, and it has effectively supplanted my use of all other mail clients.
